In addition to the regularly brewed No 7 Ales , there`s a Lone brewing of a 
 " 7 L " , Which I`ve interpreted as being a No 7 Ale London brew ;
  Monday 2 Nd May 1887 , No 7 London 
Original Gravity : 1.064.25 - 34 I B U , 6.8 % A B V + Racking Hops !!! 


I hope you all enjoy these analyses from the surviving Burton Gyle Books Ex Derby St ;
    If readers know of records from breweries in Burton that are in private archives, collections etc;
I`d love to see them .
 Particularly if they`re from any of the breweries mentioned in the No 9 & 8  Ales analysis ,
Please get in touch if you`re able to assist my research  .


Cheers All ,

Edd
